Not to be a pain, but would you say the same if they were a group of Muslims who Feds allege were plotting to kill innocents?
“Not to be a pain, but would you say the same if they were a group of Muslims who Feds allege were plotting to kill innocents?”
Not from either of the last four administrations. They were very concerned that terrorist events that actually happened would make people think badly of Muslims.
Had a “takedown” of 9 Muslim men been coordinated with a very public and aggressive campaign by the Administration to discredit American Muslims, then my cynicism hat would start going on for that one too. I don’t think we need to worry about seeing that campaign anytime soon.
But there is a concerted campaign by the Administration (that amped up greatly as soon as the Health Care bill passed) to discredit American Christians and Tea Partiers. The timing of this move fits right in. Maybe it’s a coincidence. And it may be. But my cynical hat says it may not be.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think the acts required by the cynical hypothesis are beyond this administration?
There are groups of Muslims, training right here in the US for that very purpose, right now. When was the last time you heard of one of their camps being “taken down”... and when have you ever, ever heard so much liberal media howling over the arrest of ANY jihadist?
